MAYOR MURRAY OF SEATTLE CREATES MORE OBAMAVILLES!

Homeless encampments sanctioned by the city are on course to open soon in Ballard and Interbay, Seattle officials say.

Homeless encampments sanctioned, regulated and supported by the city are on course to open next month in Seattle’s Ballard and Interbay neighborhoods, and a third likely will open in the Industrial District before the end of the year.
“We’ve spent a year trying to get these encampments up and running,” Mayor Ed Murray said. “During that time, over 30 homeless people have died in this city. This would never be my first choice, but we’ve got to do something, and something quick.”
Officials encountered opposition from some Ballard residents and business owners over the summer after naming a Seattle City Light property at 2826 Market St. as one of three preferred sites. The critics described the parcel near the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks as inappropriate and convinced officials to review alternative properties.
But Murray and City Councilmember Mike O’Brien, who’s running for re-election in District 6, which includes Ballard, have now decided to move ahead with the Market Street site after all, they wrote in a recent letter to community members.
“City staff have been working for the last three months with members of the Ballard community to locate a viable alternative,” Murray and O’Brien wrote. “However, after a thorough analysis, we have determined that the (potential alternative) sites were either not available for encampment use or did not meet code requirements.”

“Window-dressing”

Eli Fisher, a Ballard business owner and resident involved in the negotiations, called the outcome a disappointment. Fisher had hoped officials would settle on an alternative site on Leary Street, farther from the Locks and Ballard’s shopping strip.
“The city really had an opportunity to work with the community and business owners to get a win and they didn’t really do that,” he said. “They gave us some window-dressing about coming to the table to have discussions, but then nothing happened.”
In an email to community members, Murray’s chief of staff, Mike Fong, said officials will continue to evaluate the Leary Street site. But an encampment must open on Market Street in the meantime because the weather is growing colder, Fong said.
Ballard resident Chris Toman, 32, was one of more than 2,000 people who signed an online petition for the Market Street site (more than 1,600 people signed an online petition protesting the siting process in its entirety) and is happy the encampment will open soon.
“I think it’s important for every neighborhood to step up to help,” Toman said.
Nickelsville, one of two organizations approved by the city to operate such encampments, hopes to run the Market Street site. The group held a community meeting at a Ballard church Monday and will apply for a permit early next month.
The encampment could open as early as Nov. 9, according to officials. The plan is for the site to host 40 to 50 people in some tiny houses and as many as 21 tents.
Nickelsville currently runs an encampment hosted by a church at 1010 S. Dearborn St., near the Chinatown/International District.
Encampments hosted by religious entities are subject to fewer restrictions, but the group was recently asked to find another home.
Nickelsville intends to have about 15 people move from the South Dearborn Street site to the Market Street encampment next month. The group is seeking permission to operate an encampment on the Industrial District site, as well.
Some Ballard community members are upset because they were led to believe the Market Street encampment would be dedicated to Ballard’s homeless, Fisher said.

Interbay site

An encampment may open at the Interbay site as early as Nov. 2, officials said. The plan is for it to host about 80 people.
Seattle Housing and Resource Effort (SHARE) will apply for the permit next week. The organization held a meeting with Interbay community members earlier this month.
The encampment at 3234 17th Ave. W. will be called Tent City 5, said Michelle Atwood, who’s working on the plan and who lives in SHARE’s Tent City 3.
“We had a lot of support at the meeting from the neighboring businesses,” she said.
Murray in January proposed that the city site encampments for the first time, describing sanctioned tent cities as safer than a growing number of illegal camps.
The council approved an ordinance allowing up to three sites, excluding them from residential zones. They can house up to 100 people each and stay at a site for a year, with a possible extension. The operators must form community advisory committees.

Muslims Eat Their Own Children

"Speaking through an American interpreter, Lieutenant David Wallach who is a native Arabic speaker, the Iraqi official related how al Qaeda united these gangs who then became absorbed into “al Qaeda.” They recruited boys born during the years 1991, 92 and 93 who were each given weapons, including pistols, a bicycle and a phone (with phone cards paid) and a salary of $100 per month, all courtesy of al Qaeda. These boys were used for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people.At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family." -- Michael Yon

Teddy Roosevelt

T.R. On Islam

The following passages were written in 1916 in Teddy Roosevelt’s book, “Fear God and Take Your Own Part”, reproduced in “What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an” by William Federer.Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, an on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated. Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor. …..The civilization of Europe, American and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization because of victories through the centuries from Charles Martel in the eighth century and those of John Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents; and today, nobody can find in them any “social values” whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.There are such “social values” today in Europe, America and Australia only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.

.....victorious with terror

"I have been made victorious with terror"

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

THE S.E.A.L. MOTTO

We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required, yet guided by the very principles I serve to defend.

Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.

Danger To The West

The biggest danger to the West is this climate of defeatism, appeasement, and cultural collapse now on display for the Islamists to see. This is the single biggest impetus to Islamist terrorism. We all have to grasp that terrorism is not the biggest threat we face. The biggest threat is the ideology that drives it. It’s not enough to fight terror, vital though that is. The principal battleground is the world of ideas, the battle for hearts and minds. The Islamists see this very clearly. They understand that psychological warfare — the fomenting of paranoia, resentment, hysteria, and demoralization — is their most effective weapon. If they can hijack the human mind to the cause of hatred and lies, they have an army; and if they can bamboozle and demoralize their victims, they will win.
